Playbook Radio #168:  Your Calling is Calling You

Feeling stuck at a job that doesn't fulfill you? Martin Williams speaks from the heart about why pursuing your calling isn't optional—it's essential. Without notes or script, Martin addresses the three biggest excuses that keep people from stepping into their purpose: being too young, too old, or not having enough money.

Your Calling Serves Others

• Your calling isn't just about you—it's about the people who need what you have to offer
• The wisdom and experiences you're keeping bottled up could help others avoid pain or find breakthrough
• For every negative comment, there are 10 people quietly listening and benefiting from your message

The Top 3 Excuses (And Why They're Wrong):

1. "I'm Too Young/Inexperienced"

   • Story: A young man in his early 20s convinced corporations to fund cleaning the Mississippi River
   • When you take yourself seriously, others will too
   • 12-year-olds have million-dollar businesses—age is not the barrier

2. "I'm Too Old"

   • David Price quit his corporate job in his late 30s to become a meteorologist, worked his way up from small markets to CBS New York's national morning show
   • Colonel Sanders started in his 60s, Grey Goose founder in his 70s
   • 40s, 50s, 60s—it's not too late if you start NOW

3. "How Will I Make Money?"

   • Biblical principle: Focus on today only—do you have enough for the next 24 hours?
   • When you worry about next week, next month, you weaken your power
   • Serve people at a high level, and the money becomes a foregone conclusion

The 1,000 True Fans Principle:

• You don't need millions of followers
• Find your 1,000 people who resonate with your mission
• They will underwrite your calling—buy courses, attend events, support your work
• Your job: show up and serve

The Truth About Fear:

• Fear of rejection and failure keeps people from sharing their message
• Don't let one nasty comment stop you from reaching the 10 people who need to hear from you
• Your audience is the people who WANT to hear from you—not the critics

Your calling is not optional. You have limited time on earth. Someone needs what you have to offer. Stop planning and worrying—start planning and executing. Focus on today, serve people well, and trust that you'll have what you need when you need it.

The question isn't "Can I do this?"
The question is: "What am I waiting for?"
